No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The present study aims at analyzing whether ultrasonic tissue coagulation dissection technique offers a smoother peri- and postoperative course and reduces the risk for conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery in acute cholecystectomy patients as compared to electrocautery in case of acute cholecystitis The study is performed as a double-blinded study on patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for acute cholecystitis. Patients included in the study are randomized to surgery with either the traditional electrocautery based technique or ultrasonic scalpel based dissection.
